Hey man, you don't know what you're missing,
You count your curses and forget about the blessings;
Don't you think you should learn a little lesson?
What are you waiting for?
Hey man, what makes you so special now?
Can't seem to find the angels for the devils;
Don't you think if you learned to love a little,
You'd live a whole lot more?
Let it go, let it go,
This is smaller than you know,
It's no bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road;
Let it go, let it go,
Got to leave it all behind you;
Give the sun a chance to find you,
Let it go.
Hey, man, there's no time for crying now,
You made your bed but you don't think it's fit to lie in;
You're wasted on the ground when you know you should be flying,
What are you waiting for?
Let it go, let it go,
This is smaller than you know,
No bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road;
Let it go, let it go,
Got to leave it all behind you;
Give the sun a chance to find you,
Let it go.
Ah, just let it go....
How can a man not see?
It seems so clear to me,
But you've got to live and learn;
Smile at the simple stuff,
This road ain't long enough,
To miss a single turn.
Let it go, let it go,
This is smaller than you know,
It's no bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road;
Let it go, let it go,
Got to leave it all behind you;
Give the sun a chance to find you,
Let it go.
[Fading and barely audible]
Let it go,
It's no bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road;
Let it go, let it go,
Give the sun a chance to find you,
Let it go.
